CoachNow: Sports Coaching App

I’m not a coach but I’ve been coached using this app for about a week now. I have to say that this tool is such a game changer for me. Sure I’m able to get feedback on my practice from my coach, but also it’s insane how much feedback I get out of seeing myself in video and posting. It really helps me to build thoughts around practice and keep track of what I’ve worked on and my thought process (which coach can see and often correct me ) This is so much better than just taking a million videos and just leaving them in my camera roll forever. I’ve always wanted to be supported in my golf practice this way. The feedback is more immediate and I feel that coaches everywhere get far better results from students since they can check progress and comment before things get too outta whack. Just my two cents!

This app made it a lot easier for me to teach. I am very busy and have a lot of students, so I could simply reflect on our previous lessons and hit the ground running. My students could get a lot more out of their time alone by simply taking a look before they practiced and played on their own, rather than taking notes. Most people are visual learners, and being able to draw lines, comparisons to previous swings and model swings is hugely helpful. It’s easy to use and my most vital business expense (tax deductible). No brainer. Also, very happy that in my new position, our performance center already uses the app, which is becoming the standard to have. It’s free for students and easy to download onto smart phones. Not much else I can say, it’s just really good and easy to use.

We’ve used Coachnow(formerly Edufii) for years now with our players. Let’s face it, learning new skills can be tough. Why make this process any harder for the coach or the player by asking everyone involved to simply remember what was talked about at each practice. With this app, you can flip on the camera from your phone or tablet, and record as many videos as you’d like( up to 10 minutes in length/ video). The videos are then stored in the cloud permanently not only for both the player and coach, but for future use as well. The app itself is incredibly easy to use: 1 menu button, with 6 options for communication( video, text, audio, document, picture, or library- previously shot video). Simply choose the method of communication and you’re off and running. You then have the choice to upload your thread with data instantly or wait until you get back to WiFi to upload. Players and coaches both have the option to receive alerts via email, text or both as well as banners within the app. Simply put, as a coach, the app saves me a lot of time and money. I stay connected more easily with my players/clients, and I don’t have to repeat the same learning over and over again. My players are always looking for a good return on their investment; both with time and money. If you’re looking for the same, the CoachNow app is a must. The cost is insignificant when you consider how quickly it will boost overall production. I’m sure you’ll find it as useful as I have!
